Abstract

TMAO, a gut microbiota derived byproduct, has been associated with various cardiometabolic diseases by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation. The liver is the main organ for TMAO production and chronic exposure to high doses of TMAO could alter its function. In this study, we evaluated the effect of chronic exposure of high TMAO doses on liver oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. TMAO was administered daily via gastric gavage to laboratory rats for 3 months. Blood was drawn for the quantification of TMAO, and liver tissues were harvested for the assessment of oxidative stress (MDA, GSH, GSSG, GPx, CAT, and 8-oxo-dG) and inflammation by quantification of IL-1α, TNF-α, IL-10, TGF-β, NOS and COX-2 expression. The evaluation of fibrosis was made by Western blot analysis of α-SMA and Collagen-3 protein expression. Histological investigation and immunohistochemical staining of iNOS were performed in order to assess the liver damage. After 3 months of TMAO exposure, TMAO serum levels enhanced in parallel with increases in MDA and GSSG levels in liver tissue and lower values of GSH and GSH/GSSG ratio as well as a decrease in GPx and CAT activities. Inflammation was also highlighted, with enhanced iNOS, COX-2, and IL-10 expression, without structural changes and without induction of liver fibrosis.

摘要

氧化三甲胺(TMAO)是一种肠道微生物衍生的副产物,通过促进氧化应激和炎症与各种心血管代谢疾病相关。肝脏是 TMAO 产生的主要器官,长期暴露于高剂量的 TMAO 可能会改变其功能。在这项研究中,我们评估了慢性暴露于高 TMAO 剂量对肝脏氧化应激、炎症和纤维化的影响。通过胃灌胃每天向实验大鼠给予 TMAO,持续 3 个月。抽取血液以定量检测 TMAO,采集肝脏组织以评估氧化应激(MDA、GSH、GSSG、GPx、CAT 和 8-oxo-dG)和通过定量检测 IL-1α、TNF-α、IL-10、TGF-β、NOS 和 COX-2 表达来评估炎症。通过 Western blot 分析α-SMA 和 Collagen-3 蛋白表达来评估纤维化。进行组织学检查和 iNOS 的免疫组织化学染色以评估肝损伤。在 TMAO 暴露 3 个月后,血清 TMAO 水平与肝组织中 MDA 和 GSSG 水平的升高以及 GSH 和 GSH/GSSG 比值的降低以及 GPx 和 CAT 活性的降低呈正相关。炎症也得到了强调,iNOS、COX-2 和 IL-10 的表达增加,但没有结构变化,也没有诱导肝纤维化。
